BITE Indicators
Latching or Self-Restoring
Model MI 61 Series

Print information as a condensed 2 page document

The MI 61 series magnetic latching fault indicator displays a highly visible dual color drum when the indicator coil is pulsed by a BITE (Built-In Test Equipment) system. The drum provides a high contrast visual indication and an effective warning of system faults. The drum can accommodate a legend such as "GO" or "FAIL" when specific information needs to be displayed.

Covered by U.S. and Foreign Patents.
Cleared by DOD/OFOISR for public release under 00-S-1235 dated April 17, 2000.

OPERATION
When the indicator coil is energized with a 50 millisecond or longer pulse, the drum rotates to display the message or system status.

Model Ml 61M is a self-restoring, steady state indicator that automatically returns to a neutral state when power is removed. It does not latch to the core magnet, but remains suspended in the position until power is removed.

Model MI 61L & D are latching indicators that remain magnetically latched to the core in the position last pulsed.

For Model MI 61L reset to the "no-fault" position is accomplished electrically by reversing the polarity of the pulse.

For Model MI 61LD reset to the "no-fault" position is accomplished electronically by pulsing a separate coil.
